Chittering Clawbug Derell Licht Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I looked around the docks, but don't see anyone to buy a boat from. There's a boat sitting in the shop, when I click on it, it says "maybe you can find someone to buy it from", but I cannot find any such person?? (BTW, I've purchased the game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Superteeth Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 You can't ever buy a boat. Some places you use the Orb of Thralni to reach, and otherwise you use boats that immediately transport you to where you go without being able to freely go where you want.

Wow... that's pretty sad; one of the things I enjoyed about the original A3, was being able to tool around in a boat and explore out-of-the-way places... Maybe I'll just go back to that version, though I think I'll be stuck at 800x600 if I do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No?? Okay, failed memories, been awhile since I played. I remember tooling around in boats, but maybe that was earlier Avernae... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan BenS Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) So far, the only boat I've found you can buy is in Upper Avernum. It will take you to Silverlocke's Hut on that small island, though for the life of me, I don't know what it will take for her (?) to talk to me. You won't need it on the surface after you get the Orb of Thralni, and w/ cheap ferries. Edited February 11, 2018 by BenS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Silverlocke won't sell until you've done 3 plague quests. You can get anywhere you want in Upper Avernum by Orb and several places you can't by boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Derell Licht Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hokay, I can live with that... I *still* miss tooling around on the rivers (I *think* it was in A1), checking out territory, but none of the monster bands could reach me... and I could reach places that I simply couldn't reach by land. I loved the feeling of exploring!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Rhinestone Jedi Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I used to enjoy going off exploring on the water in EftP, although the boat pathfinding was awful compared to land pathfinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally, you spend a lot of time boating around in A2 as well, but then you have Empire invasion on your mind. Come to think of it, the "boats" we see on the surface are actually large fishing or trading vessels and would likely be a tad too difficult to handle for a small group of people with no experience of sailing, let alone the open sea.
